Do You Feel Stuck In Discouragement? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Do you feel stuck in discouragement?
If so, you are not alone.
Experiences of dashed hopes
can turn into discouragement,
which hovers like a dense cloud
with no sense of joy or contentment.

The way we respond is a choice.

We can either let sadness overwhelm
our souls or face the situation
with courage and bring it
before the One who can help us.

Frustration may develop into depression,
which in turn can estrange us.
Do not be bitter and defeated.
This isolation leads to a low self-esteem.

Choosing this self-destructive path
is not God's best for our lives.

Trust God in everything
even in our unmet expectations
and deepest sadnesses.

Remember, there is a divine purpose
for everything He allows to
touch His children's lives.
(Reference to St. Paul's letter to the Romans, chapter 8: 28 in the New Testament of the Holy Bible) .
